BPSC 53-55 MARKING PATTERN

LATEST: MAKING BPSC INTERVIEW MORE TRANSPARENTCLICK HERE FOR BIHAR RURAL LIVELIHOOD VACANCIESBPSC 53to 55 mains examination’s result is round
the corner. There is a consensus among the examinees that it will be declared
in December 2012. And they are (perhaps) almost right, because before December, three major
festivals are lined in the state. It is also true that answer sheet evaluation
process is in full swing. Since evaluation is at last stage, rumors (not all) about
the marking pattern are bound to be circulated at different levels. Now the
question is, are these rumors reliable? Can someone rely on these circulating
marking patterns? Well, it is very tough to reach on any conclusion. One can
neither deny nor can accept those rumors in toto. We are also aware that it is hard to crack the confidentiality of any institution's examination evaluation process, especially constitutional body like BPSC. So, before declaration of mains result, saying anything about the marking pattern will be full of risks. Despite
all these protocols, some conclusions can be drawn:

1. As far as BPSC civil services examination is
concerned, past trends suggest that few (two or three) subjects outperform rest
of the subjects. But, from this conclusion one cannot reach on a judgment that
only those students succeed who select so called outperforming subjects. If you have any doubt in your mind regarding this conclusion, just visit BPSC website and
check marks of mains (48-52) qualified students. You will be able to clear some of your doubts about the marking and success. Well, it is true that some students
of so called outperforming subjects get more than 160 marks in one paper and in
the absence of scaling they find a place in final list. This year, some
students are claiming that those, who opted LSW, have a better chance of
selection. Even, they are claiming that students have scored more than 280 in
this subject. It cannot be denied completely. Due to the scoring (and favourite among Bihar students) nature of this subject
some might have scored 280 to 300. But nobody can claim that all the students of
LSW were awarded 280 to 300 marks. It will be ridiculous to claim and more
ridiculous to accept that claim. Always keep one thing in your mind, “your performance
count, not the performance of the subject.” Let me clarify here, merely one
paper or one subject cannot push you in the final list. There are six papers in
the mains examination and your performance in each subject, rather than in one subject, will decide your
fate.

2. Even average marking in each subject will pay:
According to the BPSC (unconfirmed) number of seats is about 800, which
suggests that about 2000 students will be called for interview. Consequently,
it also suggests lower cutoff for respective categories. Consensus has emerged
on 700, which is almost true. However, plus-minus 10 cannot be denied. What it
suggests? It suggests that even average 120 marks in each of the six papers can provide you a chance to qualify for a personality test. Now, tell
me, is booming factor going to play a major role in selection? Not at all. I am
not saying here that fetching 170 marks in one paper will not help you. It will
certainly help anybody. Those who score more than 170 marks in one paper,
chances of qualifying are greater for him. But my point is that even we accept
the so called booming concept of few subjects, little more than average performance
will guarantee one’s place in the mains qualifying list. So, if your optional is not among those so called claimed boomed subjects list, don’t fade up with
circulating rumors, regarding marking pattern. Despite better than average marking in
some popular subjects, not all the students of those subjects (like LSW), are going to qualify.

3. Honourable Patna High Court has suggested BPSC to follow scaling in the current examination. However BPSC (through E-mail) is saying that it will not follow scaling. But one thing is clear, BPSC is well aware about the mass conception of marking pattern of some subjects. So the present chairman will try not to repeat it's past mistakes. Hence, don't accept each rumor, it could be a humour. THIS POST IS NOT REGARDING TO WHO SCORED WHAT, BUT IS FOR THOSE WHO SHOULDN'T BE DISAPPOINTED.

(Some good friends of this blog are requesting me to tell
about the marking pattern of subjects. First of all, I like to thank all those
friends who believe in me. But, sorry friends, it is not possible for me to disclose
the scoring of different subjects. It is too confidential as well as beyond reach.
If somebody is claiming about the scoring, he may be right at some extent, but
nobody can guarantee about those claims. I have some information (through my
sources, which cannot be verified) regarding the marking pattern, but I cannot post here, since it will always
be doubted and rightly so. I am also not an exception.BSSC EXCISE SUB INSPECTOR CUT OFF AND ANSWER KEY

Sameer Jee, scoring 270 to 280 marks is little tough, however not impossible. You may get 130+ in first paper but in second paper it is hard to get 140 marks, since the questions are essay time. Hence in GS even 250 will considered very good marks. But only you know about your performance. If u are expecting more than that, thats fine and extraordinary.

Thanx Sanket Jee... In paper 1 , 145+ I am expecting because 16 *6+ 2*25 = 146 + ( for stat 25*2=50) in first paper and 16*8= 128 in 2nd paper.... So total in GS should go above 274 ..... Can I not get 16 marks for each answers except Stat where I want 50 out of 50...

@Sanjay jee, Cutt off will be around 700. So don't be in any illusion. But the real question is how to reach that 700 point? It is not easy seeing the questions asked in gs and optional. So forget about 280-290 marks. I am praying for 240 marks in all the three subjects.

Dear friends,This is very tough to really predict a concrete trend of marking in subjects like History, LSW, GS and subjects which has higher number of examinees because because you need almost 500 checked copies as sample to make any prediction. Most of you will agree that subjects having maximum number of students do not have all quality students rather than some specified subjects. So it is not wise to simply state that in some subjects an average student may get some very good numbers like 260-70-80.Questions in GS as well as in optionals were not so easy,somewhere it was qualitatively very good and require a comprehensive understanding of subject. So as the trend is shown over the blog is.... but certainly some of good students would have caught those trend which happens every year in almost all subjects, examine the marks of previous years.

Everyone who has given main exam keeping lsw as optional has started claiming of final selection. Its quiet obvious that students having lsw as an optional are more than 50% of the total examinees. Its natural that the major chunk of students being finally selected will be among them. But that does not mean that students of other subjects will be completey ousted. So students of lsw, don't build castles in the air. In maximum cases rumours don't convert into reality . Aasman se jamin par girne pe bahut kast hota hai. Think positive, be realistic and don't wage a false war and propaganda against other subjects. Wishing everyone a good luck for their result.

Wroom Bhai... U r absolutely right and that's why we r not sure and r just speculating..... But I have seen even in gs for quality answers ppl r getting 20 out of 25... So all these r mere speculations. Even in Sociology I have done all questions but I m not sure that my manner of answering and my point of views will be respected or not... In Mech engg also I feel around 275 marks I should get but even that is a speculation only although I have matched answers, procedures and proves..... So every thing is hidden in the womb of time..... Let us speculate and feel good !! Thanx a lot !!

Hi Sameer !! U r right dude ..... Feel good and prepare for interviews.... God will help U, if u help urself.... In Mech Engg if u did 275 marks rightly U can expect 250 safely and in Sociology if U have given refernces of at least 2-3 Sociologist's point of views in first paper and Social surveys of at least 2 Sociologists in each of the answers in 2nd Paper U can expect good marks.... Say 260 +.... So any way U r in safe zone and can expect good rank if U perform well in Interview... Wish u better result !!

Doston, this time mains cutoff should be near about 665...because there is 826 seats. there was tough gs paper than last year....u may decrease 20-25 number...average 30 marks u can decrease from last year philosphy and anthro marks...and 25-30 marks u can decrease on the basis of number of seats....so total decrease marks is 75-80..thus cutoff should be near about to 665. there is no any perfect news about copy checking only speculation is goiing on...but according to bpsc secretary copy checking is going under high restriction...and u cann't expect booming of any subject....so my friend be calm and wait for result...see what happens...faith on ur hard labour and god.
